The couple opted to dress in traditional clothing to show the world that you can be gay, Muslim and in love.
Jahed has had to endure considerable homophobia during the course of his life, having been bullied at school and rejected by his family. He was also banned from attending his local mosque, which told him that his homosexuality was ‘just a phase’.

He even tried a dangerous ‘gay cure’ therapy and went on religious pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh.

The couple met after Jahed had taken an overdose, and have been together ever since. Jahed’s family did not attend the wedding.
